SLUGS HOUSEKEEPER. ROBS HOME Jaw Broken In Riot, She Gets $2000 PRICE 5 CENTS VOL. IV.—No. 52. SLUG Jaw B JAW BROKEN IN PIOT, SHE GETS $2000 DAMAGES Judge David, Democrat, Gives Good Ruling for Riot Victims Criticism of methods used to end the 1920 race riots was voiced by Chief Ju Ju, Joseph B. David of the Superior court, dismissing a jury which had returned a $2,000 verdict in favor of Mrs Lulu Hawthorne, 3118 Rhodes Ave, victim of mob violence, in her suit for $5,000 damages against the city. Mr. Hawthorne with her brother, a prosecutor on a street car passing West 55th street, and Archer avenue on Dec. 20, 1921, during the height of the stockyards strike. The woman sustained a broken jaw when riotter seeking colored nonunion laborers stormed the car. What was the police force doing to I, would like to know? demanded George David. It is pretty near time if the people woke up to the tact they have constituted authorities administer the law against all, rich, poor, black and white alike, and are a lot of persons who are becoming impatient. "It is impatient because the law does not seem to function and punish those who would seek to take the law into their own hands. The government is not properly administered if it cannot protect the individual against mobs and riots." "Race riots and mob violence humiliate Americans," declared the jurist, who recently branded Ku Klux Klan members as un-American and refused them permission to sit as jurors in his court.

Not all the shrouds, and hoods and secret mummies can now hide the klan from the accusing finger raised against it as a result of the discovery of the bodies of the two white victims of the klan for whom Louisiana state troops have been hunting the last two weeks. The toros of two men, partially identified as the bodies of Fillmore Watt Daniel and Thomas F. Richards, band which abducted, tortured and were floating on the surface of Lake La Fouche, sixteen miles from the lake state troops were dragging for their bodies. The identity of the bodies came as the result of the persistent efforts of Gov. John M. Parker to learn the identity of those who were in the masked band which abducted, tortured and finally murdered Daniel and Richards. the governor, frankly and lingering in the face of intimidation, had charged the klan for the inability for the disappearance of the two men. In his determination to solve the mystery he carried his case to Washington, appearing before President Harding and asking the support of the Federal Government in his inquiry. Mer Rouge is in a high state of excitement tonight. Smouldering beneath the surface of silence, which fear of a powerful and ruthless mob tyranny has made unbreakable, is a fuming hatred for the masked and cowardly band. The discovery that Daniel Bickhards were sparks is feared, may touch a spark to this resentment and lead to a serious outbreak.

Payton, pioneer real estate man of this city, was unveiled at the Association of Trade and Commerce last Friday evening and commenced at the zenith of his career in 1918. CHICAGO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30th, 1922. RACE RIOT COST CHICAGO HALF A MILLION DOLLARS The 1919 race riots will cost Chicago more than $500,000 in addition to its share of the expense of maintaining 6,000 state troops nine days, it was estimated today. Eighteen death claims aggregating $81,000 were approved yesterday by the City Council's Finance Committee. The city previously had paid $20,800 for five other deaths and fifteen claims remain ungettled. Property damage was not included in the $500,000 estimate. TREASURES IN EGYPTIAN TOMB DAZZLE FINDERS LUXOR, Dec. 30. — Professor Breasted, the American Egyptologist, whose Dahabeah here is flying an American flag big enough to dominate the water front, was privileged yesterday and today to investigate the tomb of King Tutenkhamen in the Valley of Kings at Thebes, recently discovered by the Earl of Carnarvon and Howard Carter. I called upon him and received the following statement: "I have spent an hour in the tomb of Tutenkhanen. The impression is overwhelming. The dispatches have but teebly suggested its marvelous reality. "It is a sight I never dreamed of seeing—the antechamber of a Pharaoh's tomb filled with magnificent equipment which only the wealth and splendid of the imperial age of Egypt in the fourteenth century before Christ could have wrought or conceived, and with everything still standing as it was placed there when the tomb was last closed in antiquity. "In mere quantity the furniture found surpasses all precedent. In quality it is an astonishing revelation of the beauty and refinement of Egypt- AX SPLITS MAN'S HEAD; WOMAN IS HELD IN MYSTERY Claims Cripple Girl Aided In Slaying of Civil War Veteran KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 30. Miss Charity Anderson, age about thirty years, slender and crippled, is languishing behind the bars of the Knox County jail the result of a part which she is said to have admitted playing in what appears to be one of the most brutal crimes that has been uncovered in the city in recent years. In another cell of the jail is W. J. Adams, an aged white woman whom the Anderson woman claims wielded the ax that felled Leif Wurthberger, aged German and Civil war veteran, and later resulted in his death. In still another Anderson and Cicero Battle, colored men, the former the husband of the Anderson woman, also held as accomplices. In Pool of Blood Wurtenberger was found living in a pool of blood at his home, 2324 East Jackson Avenue, last Wednesday evening, by Deputy Sheriff Charles Allison. Deputy Allison went to the home to arrest the aged man on a warrant sworn on by Charity Anderson, as a result of the charge the woman made before Esq. Frank Dobson, in which she told of Wurtenberger having attacked her and that she struck him in the head with the ax in an effort to defend herself. When the officers knocked at the old man's door door open and found the inmate in an unconscious state. Further questioning of the Anderson woman was convincing that something other than what was outlined by her in the statement before the recorder was being withheld and the woman was taken before Sheriff Saylor at the county jail. A careful search of the woman's home revealed $230 hidden in the soot box of the cook stove. Then it was that the woman's husband was arrested and Cicero Battle was taken in charge. The woman, following a thorough grilling by the officers, told of having held the door of the aged German's home while W. J. Adams, the white man, struck him and robbed him of a large sum of money. When the white man was taken before her at the jail man, struck him and robbed him of a knocked him unconscious while I stood at the door and watched. I was to get $60 of the money," she is said to have stated. Wurtenberger had lived alone for a number of years. He had saved much of his earnings and also received a liberal pension from the government for his part in the civil war. The Andersson work came the year the three years from from Opelika. Ala and are said to have worked for the aged man doing his washing and cooking. SNATCH THIEF SUSPECT JAILED IN ATLANTA ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 30—Police believe that Will Bigby, of 23 Clifford St., who was jailed by Patrolmen Chewning and Turner early Friday morning, is responsible for a number of losses by women whose purses have been snatched during the past few months. Bigby fills the description furnished officers by Mrs. B. S. Memlove, of 374 Piedmont Ave., of a man who Thursday night snatched her purse as she was walking out Piedmont Ave. in company with a friend. tian art at the culmination of its development in the imperial age, beyond anything I had imagined. To undaunted perseverance of Lord Carnarvon and the devoted labors of Howard Carter all students owe a debt of gratitude for the most momentous discovery in the long story of research in the Nile Valley." What We Did In '22 As the old year sinks into forgetfulness and the past let us look back and review our efforts during that time; let us see if we have held our trust to the public in good faith; let us see if we have served faithfully and well. The Chicago Whip was the first source of inspiring the merchants of State Street to provide better lighting facilities on the highway. Early in January the Chicago Whip planned with the merchants to make State Street a white way and now the city exults over the "blaze of light" that floods the street that was dead and dark a year ago. The Chicago Whip has created a new independence in the voters of the city and in the last election the voters of the black race went to the polls like men, "not like dumb driven cattle." The Chicago Whip was responsible for the closing of the notorious "Douglas Buffet," a den of vice, and has waged an unmitigating war upon the sins of the community. It has exposed the graft and perfidy of crooked politicians and has endeavored to create a clean leadership. It has sponsored and supported measures such as the Dyer Bill and the Soldiers' Bonus Bill. It has aided and supported all worthy business endeavors. It has co-operated with churches in aiding recalcitrant humanity. It has contributed to charity and alleviated human suffering. It has waged an uncompromising fight against the old, ignorant, cowardly leadership which has retarded the progress of the race.

Conditions in Europe which may flare up in serious war at any time have checked the importation of cheap foreign labor and once again the bigger factories of the north are opening up their gates to southern colored people. Labor Agents Busy It is reported that several labor agents from Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Chicago and neighboring towns have left for the south recruiting colored labor. The people of dark skin are again leaving the south in great gorades and most of them are landing in large cities met by relatives who have secured jobs for them in advance. Others, however, are coming without any definite plans and they invariably are incurring little difficulty in securing employment. One manufacturer reported that he was highly elated with the service secured so far and was frank in admitting that they were more pleased now than ever before. Housing Tension Relaxes Housing Tension Relaxes Little or no difficulty is encountered in procuring suitable homes, it being noticed that the building boom has resulted in many spacious residential sections being turned over to colored people by their former occupants who are moving in. The homeowners are compelled dwellings. Little families from the south seem to appreciate their new found homes and reports are about that they are, as a rule, clean, frugal, industrious people who are proving themselves assets to the northern communities. It is estimated that several thousand families will leave from the south during January and February. These people generally ascribe their reasons for leaving to poor wages, inferior schools, unwarranted discriminations and the horror and fear of lynchings. One man with his wife stated that he had entirely taken his beloved son to Jerusalem to the threats received from the Klu Klux Klan. He said: 'One difference which makes the difference worth while is that you are at least assured of a fair trial in the northern courts.'

Cotter's Home Is Raided and Robbed of $965 A lone bandit posed as a gas meter reader Tuesday and gained entrance to the home of Asst. United States Dist. Atty. James G. Cotter, 3342 Calumet Ave. The bandit overpowered Mrs. Lula K. Scott, 45, housekeeper at the building and lashed her to the railings of the second floor. The woman was overcome with fright and collapsed. Seizes Savings. After lashing the woman to the staircase, the bandit, who was white, began to ransack the house. On the table in the reception hall he found $865, the woman's savings, which she had been counting preparatory to taking it to a bank. Mrs. Scott was counting the money when the door bell rang. As she opened the door, a man announced himself as a gas meter reader. Once well within the house he drew a revolver and when Mrs. Scott resisted his efforts to tie her up he struck her over the head. The robber was clad in a blue uniform with brass buttons, said the woman. Mrs. Scott is in a critical condition from the shock. 17 DIE, 21 ARE BURNED IN TEXAS WRECK 17 DIE, 21 ARE BURNED IN TEXAS WRECK HOUSTON, Tex.

The dead included two unidentified white men and nine Colored people. Twenty-one persons were in hospitals here and at Humble, seriously burned, and additional fatalities were expected. The deaths were caused when a steam pipe from one of the engines in the wreck was broken and forced through a window in one of the cars.

Evans, the new imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan," virtually, confirmed | reports which startled Washington earily_ in the day to the effect that his real mis- sion in visiting the capital is to lay the ground work for an ambitious scheme seeking ultimate control of national legislation. The imperial wizard’s entourage continued to throw the element, of mystery about their visit here that has marked it from the outset. Tt is reported that Evans had a secret meeting with President Hard- ing following a call which Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor, who brought about the meeting between the klan head and Governor Allen, paid at the White House. - Commenting on his interview with Governor Allen in which he was re- buffed by that state executive, Evans issued an official statement in which the following was included: To Engulf U. S. “It makes little or no difference what Governor Allen says, and what he means even less. The klan is here and America has accepted it as the militant spirit of operative patriotism. ‘The spirit of Klan-craft has enwrap- ped the United States in a. mantle of love for country which designing and ambitious politicians cannot break, In a few brief years the influence of the Klan will Have so engulfed the thought, of the country that we can expect intelligent legisiation from the Congress of the United States which will drag down the white flag of su- pine inertia from our legislative halls and raise in its place the militant flag of red, white and blue, which means. the thing nearest the heart of every real American. | “We are profoundly grateful to Mr. Allen for the sacrifice he has made in relegating himself to political oblivion in the stand he has taken to oppose | those men of America who have pledged their votes, their money, their Sacred honor and their lives, #f neces: sary, to maintain our national honor unimpeached, unstained, untainted and unsullied by’ the foul breath of alien influences.” ‘These excerpts from the statement issued by the klan head go to uphold the stitement issued two weeks ago it will be remembered, by the African Blood Brotherhiood, to the effect that the Klan sought to conquer political power and emulate the example of the Fascisti in Italy. While the statement of the new klan head is less brutally frank than were the statements of “Col.” Simmons it must always be’ borne in mind that in the klan’s thought the negro is always classed with, the alien and that expressions of patriotism, love of country, and Klan democracy are not supposed to apply to the negro, although the negro can 40 interpret them should he desire to continue in his historical role in Amer- ica of political jack-ass. “NO PROSPECT FOR UNIFICATION?” BOYD 1 NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec, 30.—No definite moves have been made yet for the unification of the two National Baptist conventions, according to Henry Allen Boyd of this city.

F. Ware, proprictor of the Atlanta Undertaking Company, and Claude Maddox, and, Thurman Jones, ail colored, whom he is alleged to have employed to disinter the bodies of dead and turn the coffins over to his company for re-sale. A subpoena has been issued, direct: ing Attorney Roy S. Drennan to pro- duce before the grand jury all the rec- ords and books of the undertaking company which, according to officers investigating the case, he seized and carried. off, blocking their efforts to trace several alleged stolen caskets. ‘ Police Investigate The graves of many dead colored people were opened Monday under the supervision of Lieutenant Jordan, white, of the county police, Several were found to contain dead bodies that had heen shifted from the cofiins into the pine boxes that originally contained ‘the coffins. In one instance the officers found that the body of Solomon lackson, who was buried October 1, 1922, was enclosed in a casket originally sold to relatives of Nancy Joyce and in which she was buried September 9 1922, ac- cording to the officers. i This robbery was uncovered in the confession of Thurman Jones, who claims that Jones identified the cofin which contained Jacksons body as the one he had dug up and removed from the grave of the Joyce woman, Jones’ confession further led to the finding of the bodies of Laura Perry and Anna Battle in pine boxes in the graves without caskets. The Perry wo- man was buried December 8, 1922. while the Battle woman's body was buried November 27, 1922. ‘According to the confession, the offi- cors state they have front Jones, six graves have been robbed by lim and his coniederates. Five of the cofiins have been located by the officers, and they believe the *sixth will be found when the Atlanta Undertaking Com- pany's reeords are surrendered to then A large crowd of colored people viewed the disintermtent of bodies in the South View Cemetery Monday by the officers. Loud sobbing could be heard as the dead bodies were unearth. ed end found to be enclosed in nothing but pine boxes. PYTWIANS 10. BED: ! | ot SPRINGS, Ars.

Johnson In the spirit of comradeship and mutual public service, we who represent the Eighth Regiment come to you through the columns of this paper. We trust that in this same spirit that we are received by you. It is near the cols of the old year and the beginning of a new, and as with all enterprises it is the custom to take account of stock. Prominent citizens of our city that have a real interest in their military organization are those of you who are only interested when they see parades, to you we give "Account of Stock." After the men of our regiment had returned from France and were discharged and had returned to their homes and loved ones—still thinking of the battles, hardships that they endured and above all the wonderful record and the traditions of the Old Eighth from its infancy to the present date, it was inspiration and pride that caused our commanding officer, Col. Otis B. Duncan, to conceive the idea that to those who were instrumental in the formation of the Old Eighth, and to those who in the future may be an intergrant part, that we should continue to "carry on. From Colonel E. A. Efforts as a result may be to reorganize the regiment. Recruiting was at once begun and by the early part of 1920 the regiment was accepted by the state of Illinois, and mustered in to state service by Lieut. Col. John H. Patton, who was formerly adjutant of the regiment overseas. Tremendous was the work preparatory to acceptance—Physical examinations, competitions of enlistment papers, assignments to various companies, the equipping of men, that is fitting of uniforms all done by men who know the value of an institution of this kind. Aside from this do not forget that this work is carried on by men, after ending their daily vocation in civil life, who had to devote three and four evenings a week at the armory without compensation. After surmounting all complications of炎 and perplexities that were paramount, at this time National Guard regiments were being given Federal recognition, and again our commanding officer, Colonel Duncan, who is ever alert, started the machinery to work in bringing about federal recognition and was again successful in his efforts and on August 25, 1921, the regiment was inspected by Col John Patterson, U. S. A. D. O. L., and recommended by him that we had qualified under the laws to be extended federal recognition which was done as of the above date. We have operated a little over two years under federal supervision, while everything undertaken has been very successful there is room for development. In connection with military training, there is an athletic department in the regiment under the personal direction of Capt. Anderson F. Pitts, well known in the athletic circles of our city. Base ball, basket ball, foot ball and track teams are among the many sports that are enjoyed by members of the regiment. Co-operating with us is Pilgrim Johnson president and the Secretary detachment, commanded by Mrs. Florence Jones, both of these organizations are wonderful adjuncts to the regiments.

HARRIS WILLIAM H. HARRIS HIGH CLASS CLEANERS AND DYERS CALL FOR US ANGELUS TAILORS 3501 Wabash Ave. Phone Victory 5500 THE CHICAGO WHIP Weekly Business Review Business Is Expected to Continue on Active Basis Next Year Continued improvements in business during the next six months is confidently expected by a majority of business men in this territory. The majority of the business men in this territory report an exceedingly good business throughout the latter part of December. The last six months have brought the year total to a good mark, and a majority of the merchants report that the year closed most satisfactorily, and again put them on the profit side of the ledger, which hasn't been true in a great many of the business houses for a year or so. Public Buying Actively, Payments Better That the consuming public has begun to buy actively, after a long delay due to the warm fall weather, is evident from the fact that payments show a marked increase all over. As a result of good payments, indebtedness is less throughout the year, which is why it is fore, a concurrence of all favorable factors; more purchasing, less indebtedness and better payments. Commercial Guidance Association a Long Felt Need Recently an organization was brought to my attention under the name of the Commercial Guidance Association in this city. As I understand from my investigation, the organization has as its ideal the training and developing of sales people and through an employment department will place young men and women in contact with organizations of a strictly legitimate nature that can make use of their services and in turn compensate them in direct proportion for the same. The one point that impressed me with this organization is the type of men who are at its head, especially the one who is in direct charge. I refer to Mr. Clifford C. French, whom I have known personally for some years. I must congratulate the association on securing such a man, as someone no doubt no qualifier in this country in this work. I feel the pleasure to be in Memphis, Texas some time ago and at that time Mr. French made an address before the Memphis Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, and the City Club (white of that city) upon the subject of "Business Efficiency," and upon the conclusion of his address was successful in placing more than eight men in positions there, some of the largest firms in this section. There is no phase of business in my estimation, so sadly neglected among our race, as their sales department, and I might add no department so important. I firmly believe that if we had a sufficient number of trained sales people we could have any number of large and successful business houses throughout the country. Another department the association is developing, is a salesmen's association throughout the country, through which salesmen can exchange ideas and views upon problems related directly to their profession. I sincerely trust that the movement meets the success that the well deserves and the response from the lay public and that it will reach every nook and corner of this great nation. A series of lectures by leading specialists on business subjects is being conducted every Wednesday evening 8 p.m., until the first of the year, during which time the association intends to develop a class to take up the study of the work. You will be doing both the young people and the community unlimited good by insisting upon their attendance of these lectures, as they will not only, from a material standpoint profit but from a spiritual standpoint be benefitted.

"NOSEY" SEES ALL KNOWS ALL A man in a suit kneeling in front of a door, holding a handkerchief. NOSEY MANAGED to receive an invitation to a supposedly swell affair that called for fish tail coats and white gloves during the Christmas holidays. He went and saw what was supposed to represent Chicago's best society in out all ready to cat and drink the free lunch and re-mentions issued by a "gracies" host. Wanted to adamantly watch while dancing heard one of the younger men talking to one of the youngest girls there. She was considered one of the pampered few of the best family group. Well, the language that the young man let fall from his soul-milling mouth almost staggered even the hardened Nosey. No panderr could have used any more vile language and it all indicated that the woman even though she was one of the "chloe" comedians butantes. Merely an incident but it smoke volumes. * * * ON CHRISTMAS night Nosey that he would stop in one of the cabarats just outside of the loop on the North Side. It was known as a place where all of the demi mole gather. He was surprised to see some of the fair society to see him. Side who look like white still in their clothes and reeling and rocking as they tried to appear like one of the "gang." The empty bottles under the table told the story. Nosey wondered why they did not pick out a more classy place as they were able by their facial appearance to be taken for something that they were not. Nosey knows that they wanted a time which was rough they they used the rough place. Fungus that Christmas will do. Particularly if here are a few bottles under the table. --- SOME OF the young boys are getting worried over some of their escapades with the young girls. They are even trying to figure a way to leave town. Nosey overheard some of the young "shells" sounding the alarm signal over the fact that two of the girls fathers had heard about some of the parties that had been pulled off and were making an effort to locate the young men. A guilty conscience needs no accusers. --- lagoon and the old begins. Nosey with three or four old men who still think they are young men "vamp" some of the fair Shebabs who lurk in the shadows of the cabarets. This time the old young men while in their cups lost their watches and all of the spare change that they had about them. And the tales they told their wives about being "held up" in a dark street. They were held up alright, but the ladies did not use any guns, but pretty face put against the old man is just as good a "hold up" weapon as the gunned man. Gum. --- YOU OUGHT to see the little near men who gather about the drug stores and other places and tell of their "conquests" with women. Their youth makes them harmless, yet they are not, as no woman's name last ten minutes while they have enough to talk. Some steward husband is going to be leading and while some of the little plattered headed fools is relating imaginary happenings with some woman and is going to get a good spanking. That is about all a real man would feel like doing to the little makes. It's coming.

SAYS LIZA IS FAR BEHIND "SHUFFLE" (From Billboard) Book by Irvin C. Miller. Lyrics and Music by Maceo Pinkard. Special Lyrics by Nat Vincent. Entire Production Staged by Walter Brooks. "Liza" is a long way behind "Shuffle Along," in whose footsteps it is trying to follow. There is a painful lack of sequence in the scenes, the comedy is antiquated and forced, and, with the exception of one or two bits, it is not well done, because the players exhibit the great weakness of Negroes playing to white audiences—they try to act seriously and comically. There is a woeful absence of the simple, plain and unctuous humor of the Miller & Lyle show. The fun, instead of being characteristically Negroid, is distinctively "black-face." "The Three O'clock Train" is the outstanding comedy hit, and, without taking anything away from Irwin C. Miller and Emmett Anthony, that old "nigger" afterpiece has been done infinitely better by many, many white actors. Comedy of this kind is not suited to Negro players, but they will insist on doing it. Instead of working out their own ideas, giving them the flavor of their own giving them the flavor of their own men's concepts of Negro character. In doing that they lose all sense of the reality and the realism of the game. That is the big drawback to the performance of "Liza." The moment the dancing, which is full of life, the Negro spirit of enthusiasm and whirlwind speech, ceases, the show is dead. Without the spectacular abandon of the dancers, "Liza" would not last long. There are two excellent specialties by Greenlee and Drayton, another coorking one by Eddie Fields which held the show up until it was repeated, a number called "Dandy," done by Margaret Simms, and the male chorus that was made a veritable sensation by the "strutting" off stage at the finish by one of the boys, and another cayenne offering. "The Charleston Dance" by Maude Russell and a group of girls. The music is written better than it is delivered. The song, "Liza," is particularly tuneful, and "My Old Man," thanks to the clear, sweet soprano of Elizabeth Welch, is effective. There is plenty of talent in the show, but it has little material to work with. The influence of bad example is obvious in the leg exposure business which closes the barber shop scene in the first act. That kind of trash belonging only in a second-rate white barlesque show. One of the great charms of Negro comedy is the ability if the degraded taste of white producers were to ruin the wholesomeness of Negro show entertainment; "Liza" as a dancing show is excellent. Otherwise it is a slammed-together assortment of very mediocre specialties—PATTERSON IAMES "IMPOSSIBLE MRS. BELLEW" Coming next week, Gloria Swanson and Conrad Nagel in "The Impossible Mrs. Bellew.

Billy Arnue is at present principal comedian with Raymond Daley's "Chocolate Town," a Negro company, and writes that it was his cousin, Chas. J. Arrant, who is a widely known colored comedian, and has been in the business for upwards of eighteen years. The error was due to misinformation and similarity of names.

Ma, Dec. 24.—The names of the men who won the coveted block "M" during the 1922 foot ball season were made known when Coach Harvey and Manager Winters announced the following men eligible to vote for Captain for the season 1923: Caesar Gayes, Charles Kelly, Louis O. Harper, Lycurgus Gentry, J. W. Maxwell, N. B. Cooke, William Howard, L. Irwin, L. M. Jordan, T. R. Starr, A. Williams, J. C. Walker, and C. R. Perkins, C. Kelly, veteran of three seasons, and All-Southern half-back was chosen Captain L. Irwin, All-Southern and All-American tackle, was elected alternate Captain. Only four letter men, Lycurgus Gentry, halfback, J. W. Maxwell, fullback, C. R. Perkins, fullback, O. H. Harper, quarterback, graduate this year. Hence, with a veteran line intact and two experiences backfield men the team for another championship team at Morehouse College in 1923 are encouraging. In addition the entire second team whose members participated return intact. Much credit for the past successful season should be given to these men who were just below the Varsity caliber, but by their good work kept the varsity on edge during training, they once added rest during the games. Get Sweaters and Letters The Varsity "M" club probably scares will be awarded to the above named men at the Annual "M" Club basket during commencement week, together with those for basketball baseball and track for the present college year.

A summons has been served on Paul Roseman, president of the federation, directing him to produce within three days the records upon which Siki was disqualified. The document maintains that the federation is without jurisdiction in any except purely boxing matters and that the disqualification was based upon alleged conduct not relating to boxing.

The party was all right, but; when the newsies get through, who is going to burry the undertakers; they'll need something. I am sure. Another party at the same hotel on the same night resulted in the arrest of the promoter, a Mr. Harris, which proves that you must be either an undertaker, a crook, or a newspaper man (it's all the same) or else there'll be no party, and if so we smell trouble in the funis, Harris might have forgotten all worries and freed himself from the solitude of iron the following morning, but remember the next two days were holidays and the jailers are somewhat selfish with words on holidays and Sundays; they don't even speak to you until "work day" comes.

BUT WHAT TOMMY BEAUTY MEANS IS: "YOU HAVE MY MONEY, SIR." Sportively Speaking ... COMMONWEALTH 5 MAY UPSET LOENDI The McMahan brothers have gotten together what appears to be one of the strongest teams ever assembled in the East. The team is captained by our own Hop Hubbard and presents a lineup that after a few more contests will most certainly establish themselves well as the wonder five of 1922. This team has not met Loendi, the great Pittsburgh team yet, and we are inclined to say that it is a point in the Pittsburghers favor. The outcome of this contest will be well worth recording, you can bet on that. In speaking of the Commonwealth for the New York Amsterdam has to say: "A letter received from 'Cum' Posey one day last week induced us to make our first trip to the Commonwealth Casino Sunday evening to see the track Commonwealth Five in action, lots of people no doubt imagine because we usually pillory the Little Pittsburghian and Leondi that we are at bigger heads with Pittsburgh, but such is not the case as can be seen by the attitude of the Pittsburgh Courier and the Pittsburgh American towards Nothing but praise for our efforts in the columns of Posey's home town papers, which leads us to believe that they see our point and know that we are simply asking "Cum" to come out and play a real team. A few weeks ago when the Brooklyn Celtics put up such a hard game against the Commonwealth Five and came within an inch of wrestling victory from the colored boys, hundreds thought the white boys would return on Sunday night and swamp the local team. That's why a large crowd turned out to the Commonwealth Sunday evening to witness the clash. But the McMahon players were at their end and when they answered the blister which called them the first real insight on the ability of our boys, for they hung everything upon the Celtics and at times made the crack white players look foolish. It was the same old story of "Fat" Jenkins, Fall, Hubbard, Shoum, Forbes and Monde working as a real combination. Off to a wonderful start, they were never headed and at the conclusion the score read 43-13 in their favor. Announcement of the coming Sunday's game when the Commonwealth team face the Perth Amboy Five, met with prolonged cheers, for followers of the game are perfectly aware that this bunch from New Jersey carry everything necessary to make a real team and for the first time since starting the Commonwealth is in danger. But back to Posey, "Cum" is desirous of meeting the Commonwealth but he is sparring for time. He has written in to New York and made some demands which are ridiculous but knowing "Cum" as we do we feel that within the next few weeks he will wake up and we do not blame him for boxing when he is in action. A game between Leoni and Commonwealth for the championship is a foregone conclusion and it is now left with Posey to accept reasonable terms, said terms to be published broadcast if Pittsburgh fails to accept them and continue to claim the world's championship. As we told Pittsburgh not very long ago, we do not intend to stand for those games around here that we know the result of long before the teams meet. What we want is a game between the two leading colored teams in the country and here in New York we are willing to meet the Pittsburghians more than half way in arranging such a game, but Posey must not be unreasonable and think that we are so anxious to see his team in action against the Commonwealth we are going to give him New York and half of Brooklyn to see him biting the dust. That's that for the present and Pittsburgh we ask to believe us when we say we speak with the authority of one who continues to play the game off the court same as the boys on the court.

MONROE It has often been said that one man does not by any means make a basket ball team or any other organization, for that matter, which is very true. But an equally true and oftimes proven theory is: one man can often break a team or an organization. It might be that the team is not altogether "broken" but materially demoralized; at that however, we would like to know just how weighty an amount can be expected of anything that has been robbed of its moral. A good example of this argument rests comfortably on the dome of the Chicago basket ball team. Yes, the present one. For several years the Chicago basket ball public has been wel paid for their uncredulous support of the local team, surely there were few better teams in the country than the "Windy City" club. Even the coming of Sol Butler, the great athlete, did not add much to the power of the club. In due credit to Butler we should say that he was a great player. Yes, very good, surely few players in the country could have added more power than Butler brought to the Chicago team. But all in all it was the same old story "one man does not" and etc. But this season brought the passing of "Hop" Hubbard and we would like to ask: Is it not evident that something is plainly missed? Do we not see plainly the conspicuousness of the absence of moral? It is a sad story, but true. We have often said that the most conspicuous part of true sportsmanship is its absence. Truly the most visible and loudest sounding, portion of this all important phase of every athletic f at is its absence. We have seen good sportsmen allow an act of true ortsmanship go by unheralded Turn this same happening around Watch the crowd boo; it's interesting to watch. At the close of Chicago's last attempt to show its basket ball prowess 7 we observed a striking example of this. This contest, just fair, no better, and otherwise rotten, was marked with both cases of this advanced argument. Early in the game Virgil Bluitt accidentally "toughed it" with one of the opposing players, the referee did not see it, but Bluitt did, not Bluitt the man but Bluitt the sportsman. After having tripped his man, and having a clear field Virge might have gotten away but instead chose to lift his man to his feet and apologetically slap him upon the back. It was true sportsmanship, but few saw it. But at the close of the contest the white boys who had won gave a splendid yell for the losing Defenders (which is customary) but the Defenders failed to respond in like echo; everyone saw and spoke of it. It was small, but touchy. After all, it's the same old story. Huntsmen have proven that to catch or capture some young animals means sudden death for the mother. Specialists have also proven that twins if closely associated are to a degree inseparable. Gyp, star foot ball man of the always good team, Notre Dame, died following a great and brilliant career on the gridiron in 1922. Gyp was sadly missed by his fellow players and supporters. It was a sad blow and one that was felt throughout the country. It meant the end of one of the greatest aerial combinations ever perfected. Truly no foot ball fan can ever forget the famous "Gyp to Kirk" combination. It was most certainly an institution. They should long be remembered. But lest we leave our story. After the death of Gyp, Kirk moved over to Michigan, and as usual was a terror even though Gyp was gone. But after probably the greatest year of his entire brilliant career, Kirk, like Gyp, answered the call of the Mighty, DEATH. They were neither twins or mothers, but an equally tough blow. It was most certainly a peculiar coincidence. EDITORIAL PAGE 8 THE MAC NEAL PUBLISHING COMPANY (Incorporated) Chicago Office: 3420 STATE STREET Phone VICTORY 4606 JOS. D. BIBB, L. L. B.

It is folly for the black man to place his own kind beneath the white man, beneath the Jew, the Indian and the Oriental.

Let us resolve that our public conduct will be so shaped that we will command the respect of our fellow countrymen. That we will make no compromise with our own who are afraid to represent us as men and who tremble when they face other people. Let us hold our heads up to every man and stand four square to every wind that blows. Let us seek to evolve to highest type of citizenship and get away from the foolish doctrines of Ante Bellum leaders and grasp the newer doctrines of the new school.

That is a logical suggestion. But if the issue is to be made one of hypocrisy, it would be equally logical to suggest that these officials vote as they drink—wet. Representative Upshaw of Georgia, a former evangelist, tells the house that officials of federal and state governments, if they want to get anywhere with law enforcement and reform, should begin with themselves. "The plain people," he says, "believe that many high officials claim the privilege of buying and drinking illicit liquors themselves while denying that privilege to the poor devils among the masses." Therefore he wants them all to "walk out in the open and take a new oath of allegiance to the constitution." More briefly, he wants them to drink But Mr. Upshaw is not interested in logic. If he were, he would call upon the state of Georgia and its officials to take a new oath of allegiance to the constitution including the fourthteen and fifteenth as well as the eighteenth amendment. He would demand the enfranchisement of Georgia Negroes according to the federal constitution. He isn't, and doesn't.

One is that "Book Chat not every week but every two week volume of "Book Chat" for the year has not been sufficient to warrant it. "Book Chat" has been devoted to books or essays that relate to the Negro or to race problems, but "The Story of Mankind" is an exception to this rule. There is nothing in it that relates to the black man save an excellent paragraph on Toussaint L'Ouverture and Haiti. It is, however such a delightful book and it is so necessary to know the history of Mankind, if we are to know the history of any portion of it, that we all ought to read what Mr. Van Loon has to say. And also what he has to draw for the book has 158 illustrations, some of them full page, nine of them colored. It is written for young people but it will be read, I am confident chiefly by their children. Certainly when it goes into a home the parents will be found only two anxious to read it aloud or to pour over it after the children are born. Its sprightly style makes it irresistible. Take the end of the chapter on the Holy Roman Empire. After describing Charles magna's crowning by Pope Leo III as Emperor, Van Loon shows the downfall of that empire and of how Napoleon, eight hundred years later, placed the crown on his own head in the presence of another Pope, and proclaimed himself heir to the traditions of Charlemagne. "For history," the author says, "is the same as life. The more things change the more they remain the same." The chapter on the Age of the Great Religious Controversies begins like this: "The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were the age of religious controversy. If you will notice you will find that almost everybody around you is forever 'liking economics' and discussing wages and hours of labor and strikes in their relation to the life of the community, for that is the main topic of interest of our own time. The poor little children of the year 1600 or 1650 fared worse. They never heard anything but 'religion', their heads were filled with 'predestination', 'transubstantiation', 'free will' and a hundred other queer words expressing obscure points of 'the true faith', whether Catholic or Protestant. For tolerance is of very recent origin, and even the people of our so-called 'modern world' are apt to be tolerant only upon such matters as do not interest them very much." The chapter that attracted me the most is the one upon the medieval town. Never before have I seen the growth of the town and of power so graphically and naturally described. The feudal lord, to go the crusade, needs money. Many people lived and died in the Middle Age without ever seeing money and he must borrow this money as he has only goods. But once he borrows of the petty trader outside his gates he gets into his clutches. On his return he must pay up, which he rarely does, or give some power to the men from whom he has borrowed. They in return demand a council of their own, the right to manage their civil affairs without interference from the castle. And the lord of the castle usually has to give or go without the money he so much wants. And so the town about the castle grows, and in it grows new thought, life, industry—for Van Loon has little belief that a peasantry would ever exhibit progress. His chapter ends "Meanwhile his lordship, in the dreary and drafthalls of his castle saw all this upstart splendor and regretted the day when first he had signe away a single one of his sovereign rights and prevaragatives. But he was helpless. The townspeople with their well-filled strong boxes snapped their fingers at him. They were free men, fully prepared to hold what they have gained by the sweat of their brow and after a struggle which had lasted for more than ten generations." There are two things that in the last chapter we are especially told to remember: The first is that "The original mistake, which was responsible for all this misery (the great war) was committed when our scientists began to create a new world of steel and iron and chemistry and electricity and forgot that the human mind is slower than the proverbial brain, is slower than the well-known sloth, and marches from one hundred to three hundred years behind the small group of courageous leaders." A human being with the mind of a sixteenth century tradesman driving a 1921 Rolls Royce is still a human being with the mind of a sixteenth century tradesman." And the second is this: Every generation must fight the good fight anew or perish as those sluggish animals of the prehistoric world have perished. Before closing this "Book Chat" I have two things I want to say to my readers. One is that "Book Chat" is sent out now to the colored press not every week but every two weeks. The other is, that the proposed volume of "Book Chat" for the year 1922 will not be printed, as the demand has not been sufficient to warrant it. to books or essays that relate to the "The Story of Mankind" is an exception that relates to the black man save an L'Overture and Haiti.

When they refuse us the right to drink at the founts of learning even the democracy of mind is shattered, but that is exactly what the white people will eventually do and sooner or later every door will shut in our faces. That is not discouraging; we have only to strengthen our own institutions. In the meantime we should slip into all of the white universities and "get in" while the getting is good.

It is a public servant in every sense of the world. Vice. An insignificant little word that embraces all those things that can degrade mankind. The Whip denounces vice in low tones. Especially does the Whip oppose prostitution, the very vilest vice, in short, it is nothing more to race suicide. This action on part. The Whip merits and should receive the support of all law-abiding, race loving citizens. In further praise of Chicago's fighting "Newspaper," allow me to say that in seeking the best for race. The Whip is no respecter of perverses. Little offenders must play squarely or forfeit the right to play at all. Thanks to the Whip. Lastly, permit me to register my approval of those splendid editorials. They are obviously the result of close observation, hard thinking and deliberation. I have before me as this is written, an editorial captioned, "There Is No Santa Claus." It is logic itself. Continue the good work. With very best wishes. I am, a constant reader, AUBREY L. THOMPSON.

HEALTH HINTS By Dr. Troy Smith For the benefit of the holiday smokers, who at this time of the year have many forms of the "delicious weed" threat upon them, and for the benefit of those who at various times of the year have required of this department a terming the effects of tobacco smoking, it might be timely to say a word about the effects of tobacco upon the human system.

The nonsmokers place the responsibility for everything from stunted growth to mental deficiency on tobacco users, while the users often praise tobacco for its soothing effects and assign it a place in medicine as a harmless sedative. In this connection it might be interesting to note that the experiment carried on by D. J. Carver of the Johns Hopkins University to determine the psychologic effects of tobacco smoking. Eight established psychologic tests were used to determine whether or not the smoking of cigars or cigarettes would influence the judgment and response of a number of persons to various stimuli. The result seemed to indicate strongly that the immediate effects of smoking, both on smokers and on nonsmokers, is a lowering of the accuracy of finely co-ordinated reaction. Yet in conducting these experiments various factors were brought into play that influenced the test; for example, there will be a decreased accuracy of the habitual smoker when he has for some hours been deprived of his customary tobacco-combustion products. The above psychologic tests to determine the immediate effects of tobacco upon the mind did not prove entirely satisfactory and they are yet working on the same. The problem can be partially solved by the physician who comes in contact daily with individuals who smoke to an excess, the moderate smoker and the nonsmoker. It is a known fact that a cigar smoked after a heavy meal often acts as a laxative. This can be classed as a beneficial effect, as by its action nature's normal effect is desired without the use of purges. On the other hand excessive smoking will produce a condition known as tobacco heart. This is brought about by the nicotine, the deadly poison, found in small quantities in the pipe, cigar and cigarette. The more you smoke the more of this product is absorbed and consequently cases of nicotine poisoning are on record due to the over-use of tobacco. Excessive smoking will produce an effect upon the manhood. Many so-called cases of loss of manhood have been greatly improved when the patient cut down on smoking. Again, smoking is a habit when once acquired is hard to stop. An individual might cease smoking very easily; but as soon as he has made up his mind to stop he sees a catchy ad on the billboard, street car, or newspaper, where an individual seems to get so much satisfaction from a puff of a cigar or cigarette he soon forgets his oath to swear off and before he knows it he has lighted a cigar or cigarette. It may be summed up by saying that moderate smoking in normal individuals in most cases is harmless, yet there are some that smoking does not agree with. In those cases the best thing to do is to stop entirely.
